Fleets & Airships

This week we were able to confirm that The Missouri Fleet will be represented at the Steampunk Olympiad by Admiral Minutiae Burke and her crew from St Louis (pictured above) and beyond!

We have many themed presentations in addition to an array of Steampunk sessions, and the Steampunk Olympiad is going to be bigger than ever with the new Fleet Admirals!

We invite you to join our new Airship Directory by filling out out Airship Registration and letting us know more about your Airship or Steampunk organization.

A Taste of the Weird West . . .

From 2011, we remember the science fiction Western film Cowboys & Aliens directed by Jon Favreau and starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. The film is based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg.
